Now, the story.
Chapter 5: The Mishima Hotel
One month has passed. Xiaoyu and Panda were now walking towards the Mishima hotel. They couldn't take a taxi or a bus because they didn't allow animals on board, especially a panda. Xiaoyu was receiving all kinds of strange looks as she walked through the streets with Panda but this was normal for her. The bustling crowds parted as they advanced towards their goal. It didn't matter to Xiaoyu that they had to walk; Mishima hotel wasn't far from where her apartment was. Then why stay there? It would be easier to meet up with her friends from the tournament and meet new comers. Xiaoyu had heard rumours about a fighter her age entering the tournament and she wanted to meet her.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiaoyu and Panda arrive at the hotel. When they were inside, Xiaoyu was awed by the class, giving the impression that only the richest people stay here and as a matter of fact, they do. Even though this was the third time she had come here, she would never get used to it. The carpet was a lovely shade of blue without the tiniest speck of dust on it, the walls were a deep crimson, the receptionist's desk were made from granite that was also a deep crimson and the receptionist's uniform was the same blue as the carpet.
In the lobby, there was already a few fighters here that Xiaoyu recognised from the previous tournament. She also spotted her friends, Hwoarang and Julia, amongst all the other competitors but she wanted to put her stuff in her room first. "Welcome to the Mishima hotel, miss. Do you have a reservation?" The receptionist said in a polite tone, wearing a smile to match. "I'm Ling Xiaoyu and this is Panda. We are participants of the tournament." Xiaoyu said, matching the tone of the receptionist. The receptionist took out a list and scanned it, looking for their names. She took out a card from underneath the desk and gave it to Xiaoyu.
"Ok, Miss Ling. Here is the card key to your room on the second floor, number 13. Your panda must stay on this floor with the rest of the animals." The receptionist said. "What other animals are there?" Xiaoyu asked. " A grizzly bear and a kangaroo." The receptionist answered. Xiaoyu was reminded how bizarre these tournaments were. Xiaoyu left Panda with the receptionist so she could take her to her room. Before Xiaoyu stepped in the elevator, the receptionist called out: "Oh, and Miss Ling? Your roommate has arrived. She's probably still in the room." Xiaoyu nodded and got inside the elevator, wondering who her roommate was. Xiaoyu didn't really mind who her roommate was, she got along with almost everybody.
There was a chime and Xiaoyu was on the second floor. She exited the elevator with her travelling bag trailing behind her. In no time, she was at the door to her room.She sliced the card through the slit by the handle and opened the door slowly. The suite was dark; the only source of illumination was from the moonlight through the open door to the balcony. A figure stood there, who Xiaoyu assumed to be her roommate. Xiaoyu quietly laid down her travelling bag and slowly approached the figure.
A/N: Well, can you all guess who her roommate is? Ok, its kinda obvious but oh well, lets jus see if you can guess before the next chappie is up :D I'm sorry there hasn't really been any action since the first chapter but all the action comes in when (obviously) the tournament starts so review and tell me what you think?
